This study investigated simultaneous removal of lead and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid from synthetic wastewater samples using granular activated carbon adsorption. Bentonite clay adsorbed minimally. How does the material turn into activated charcoal or activated carbon? It was quite effective at 85% absorption. Adsorption testes revealed that activated carbon presented poorer efficiency in the recovery of Au complexes in relation to untreated activated carbon, and that they did not adsorb either Cu or Fe complexes. It is even much more effective that silica gel! The adsorption of phenol by lignite activated carbon. Lü, Guocheng[1];Hao, Jiao[1];Liu, Liu[1];Ma, Hongwen[1];Fang, Qinfang[1];Wu, Limei[1];Wei, Mingquan[1];Zhang, Yihe[1];. Activated Carbon had the second best mold toxin absorption at 62%. Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal or activated coal is a form of carbon that has been processed to make it extremely porous and thus to have a very large surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions. 1 gram of activated carbon can easily adsorb moisture levels the size of 8 tennis courts. In fact, activated carbon has the strongest physical adsorption properties. Cholestyramine showed the best adsorption capacity. Activated carbon is a natural desiccant that has excellent adsorption capabilities.
